It actually saves Hollywood time as most of their "based on a true story" movies bare little resemblance to the actual events.
It’s like Kosinski’s “Painted Bird”, also made up of whole cloth. Or the story of war criminals the Bielskis (whose gang killed 140 peasants for the Soviets).
Don’t worry, Kaalleeefornia is going to bail out Hollywood anyway. Like the WSJ said today, Rich liberals like Rob Reiner, who love higher taxes on other people, get a sweetheart tax break and everyone else pays more.
